The Waveshare 10.3" E-Paper E-Ink Raw Display, 1872×1404, Black/White, 16 Grey Scales, Parallel Port, w/o PCB is an advanced display technology designed to mimic the appearance of traditional paper. This display offers a resolution of 1872×1404 pixels and supports 16 levels of grey scales, providing a clear and detailed visual experience. The display operates without a backlight, relying on ambient light to illuminate the screen, which contributes to its low power consumption and paper-like effect.
This e-paper display is particularly suitable for applications such as e-readers, electronic shelf labels, and industrial instruments, where a wide viewing angle and minimal power usage are advantageous. The display maintains its content even when powered down, requiring energy only during the refreshing process. It supports partial refresh, allowing for quick updates to the displayed content.
The display utilizes microcapsule electrophoretic technology, where charged particles move within a fluid to create visible images by reflecting ambient light. This technology ensures that the display is easily readable under various lighting conditions, including natural and lamplight, and offers a viewing angle of nearly 180 degrees.
The display is designed for integration with systems that use a parallel port for communication and comes with development resources, including a manual and examples for platforms such as Raspberry Pi and STM32. This makes it an ideal choice for developers and engineers looking to incorporate e-paper technology into their projects.
No backlight; retains last content even when powered down
Ultra-low power consumption; power needed only for refreshing
Includes development resources and manual (driver board circuit diagram, examples for Raspberry Pi/STM32)

E-paper display uses microcapsule electrophoretic technology; charged particles in clear fluid move to sides of microcapsule when electric field is applied, reflecting ambient light like traditional printed paper
Displays images/texts clearly under lamplight or natural light
Suitable for price tags, asset/equipment tags, shelf labels, conference name tags
If you are not satisfied with a product purchased from the Site, you may request a return within 30 days from the delivery date, unless the product is listed under the Return Exceptions below or is subject to specific return conditions noted on the product page.

Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
